1.78 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

There are gemstones that are admired, and then there are gemstones that quietly define a select circle of connoisseurs, collectors, and those who appreciate true rarity. This transparent green emerald, weighing 1.78 carats, is one of those exceptional stones, and it arrives to you from the heart of Zambia where deep, intensely colored emeralds are mined with care. At 9.16 by 6.97 by 4.69 millimeters its face up presence is beautifully balanced, large enough to announce itself on a ring or pendant, and yet intimate enough to remain an exclusive secret for the owner who appreciates nuance. The weight alone elevates this gem, because in the world of emeralds every fraction of a carat compounds value. A stone approaching 2 carats in this clarity and color is proportionally rarer than multiple smaller stones that add up to the same weight. For those who know, a 1.78 carat emerald of transparent quality is an object of desire, destined to be one remarkable piece in a refined collection. The Natural Emerald Company presents this gem as a rare opportunity to possess a Zambian emerald that balances presence and refinement.

Beyond the significant weight, the technical attributes of this emerald further enhance its scarcity and desirability. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize scintillation and color distribution, allowing the intense green to play across each facet with lively brilliance. An excellent polish ensures that light moves through the stone with little obstruction, revealing the clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. These inclusions are typical of natural emeralds and speak to the authenticity of the gem, while remaining modest enough to preserve the clarity and sparkle that collectors prize. The intense color intensity is the defining characteristic that gives this stone its compelling face appeal, deeper and more saturated than average, and the standard enhancement, performed according to trade practice, stabilizes and optimizes the gem while respecting its natural character. At 1.78 carats the stone sits in a premium weight category where per carat prices rise steeply, because matching color, clarity, and transparency at this size is uncommon. The proportions of 9.16 by 6.97 by 4.69 millimeters provide an elegant oval silhouette that sits gracefully on the finger, and the mixed brilliant cut ensures that each millimeter contributes to the overall impact and value.
